    BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich., Oct. 7 -- Noble International, Ltd.

Centrifugal has broken ground on a new approximately 150,000 square foot,

paint lines have the flexibility to adapt to new substrates and finishes as

systems.  Centrifugal currently employs approximately 150 people.
    In announcing the acquisition, Robert J. Skandalaris, CEO of Noble, said,

and complements our current interior trim coating capability.  The acquisition
of Centrifugal, coupled with our recent acquisition of Tiercon Plastics,
allows us to offer a range of decorative trim products and services.  These
acquisitions, along with yesterday's announcement of our acquisition of the
assets of H&H, furthers our goal of being the best total solution provider."
    Fraser Wray, President and CEO of Tiercon and Centrifugal, said, "This is
an important step in establishing Noble as a full-service supplier to its
